Ways to correlate client side and server side connections
- Oct 22, 2024
if you're talking about active connections, this information is usually stored in the connection table. if you run the: tmsh show sys conn cs-client-addr <client ip> cs-client-port <client port>
command , you'll be able to see all active connection for the given client address, and the correlated server-side connection.if you want to filter for a specific Virtual Server, you can add the: cs-server-addr <VS ip> cs-server-port <VS port>
options, and the output will only match active connections on selected VS for the selected client, one row for each connection.if more details is required, you can also append the "all-properties" option to the command in order to see informations such as input/output throughputs, the configured & residual idle timeouts, or lasthop mac addresses. once again - one entry per active connection.
if oneconnect is enabled, there will be multiple client side tcp sessions served by a server side tcp session.
you can try to add custom http request header containing client's source ip and port addresses so you can search easier in tcpdump.
